Leading Mental Health Facility in Tennessee

A residential treatment center provides round-the-clock addiction care to ensure that those beginning their journey to healing have the support they need.

At TRUE Addiction and Behavioral Health’s leading mental health facility in Tennessee, we believe receiving professional care in residential treatment is a positive and monumental step toward long-term recovery. Although residential treatment is not something we provide at our facility, we can help patients find the level of care they need through our trusted network of partner facilities.

If you don’t require 24/7 supervision, our highly structured PHP and IOP options can help you begin the path to recovery. Our sober living homes allow you to live with peers in recovery during treatment. We’re located in Murfreesboro, with close access to Nashville, Brentwood, Chattanooga, and Hendersonville.

Lifelong sobriety is our goal for each of our clients, and our center works to provide the support and tools necessary to address their unique needs. Through our comprehensive and evidence-based treatment services for substance use and mental health disorders, our healthcare professionals help our clients develop the essential skills and resources to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Why Choose Us for Mental Health Treatment?

Many years ago, our founder saw a need for better services and more personalized care within substance abuse and mental health treatment centers. The core natures and creative instincts of people were not being served to their fullest potential. The industry strives to do its best.

However, we still found that the elements of treating the whole person in physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being were not being discovered, and the outcomes provided insights into the results. The owner of TRUE’s personal recovery journey has guided him on a mission to improve treatment services for other struggling individuals. 

With his own experience in addiction and years of work in many treatment capacities, our founder is uniquely qualified to heal more than the symptoms of a substance use or mental health disorder — our carefully crafted treatment provides healing for the whole person.

After many years of assessing and evaluating services, resources, treatment modalities, and programs, our founder discovered a more in-depth method of treating people struggling. Now in hopes of creating better outcomes, TRUE sets out to revive the heartbeat of recovery by motivating the communities to be a thriving source that provides better resources for recovery.

TRUE has established a program that examines all four elements of physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. We leave you or your loved one in a position to strive for success, leaving no room for the possibility of compromise in life.

Our Treatment Programs

Our treatment teams develop individualized programs and goals for each client. We understand that a program that works for one person will not meet the needs of another. Through our comprehensive emotional memory assessment, we create customized treatment plans that meet each client where they are.

Sober Living Homes

Our sober living program is a significant next step after completing inpatient treatment at our facility. Sober living provides a safe and structured environment for sustained sobriety in the heart of the Smoky Mountains. Checking into a sober living home is ideal for using everything you learned in therapy.

Patients can choose from co-ed or gender-separate housing with our all-male, all-female, and male and female houses. We allow patients to choose the option they feel most comfortable with to help facilitate their recovery progress. While living in these residences, patients must participate in our treatment programs to work towards their recovery goals.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our partial hospitalization program (PHP) in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, is an addiction treatment program that provides intensive individual, group, and family therapy, medication management, and support services to individuals struggling with substance abuse and co-occurring mental illness and behavioral health issues daily. 

Also referred to as day treatment, our PHP allows individuals to return home or to a sober living environment in the evenings. Patients in our PHP attend treatment from 9:30 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. Monday through Saturday. With 6 days per week of intensive treatment, our program creates structure around the clock while allowing for a more affordable option than a residential treatment program.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Since our IOP is a flexible treatment option without an inpatient stay, our clients get to maintain their daily routines while still addressing their needs. Hospitalization or inpatient treatment is not required for this program. IOP is an outpatient treatment that aims to stabilize mood swings, manage symptoms, and improve functioning.

At TRUE, patients in our IOP receive treatment from 9:30 A.M. to 12:30 P.M. Monday through Friday, with an option of additional treatment on Saturday. By offering more sessions per week and a low client caseload for therapists, our patients receive greater benefits from our programs and progress more quickly. We help patients discover the best version of themselves.

Our Treatment Approaches

Treatment is the first step in changing the behaviors associated with a disruptive life, whether due to mental health issues or substance abuse. Individuals need medical support from professionals who understand their specific concerns. 

The treatment team can develop individualized goals. Working collaboratively with each individual in our mental health facility, we can develop a plan beyond a standard model and create a personable and actionable set of guidelines instead.

Through proper medication and support, individuals with addiction can manage their symptoms and reduce the negative impact of impulsive control behaviors on their lives.

Behavioral Therapies

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines mindfulness and acceptance strategies. The idea behind ACT is to focus on helping individuals develop mental and emotional flexibility and avoid making risky decisions.
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) makes individuals aware of attention and concentration problems. It improves their organization and time management. Our clients learn to break down tasks easier to manage their daily lives. CBT builds confidence and controls impulsive behavior. Individuals with BPD gain confidence and can control impulsive and risky behaviors.
• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) helps individuals participate in their therapy. Professionals recommend DBT as a treatment because it effectively combines CBT, mindfulness, and acceptance strategies. DBT teaches essential skills for managing emotions, impulsive behavior, and relationships. Individuals set goals, track progress, and make decisions about their treatment.
• Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) helps individuals understand unhelpful thoughts that can lead to negative emotions or behaviors. REBT focuses on the moment and what a person is feeling. Our therapists help you form new ways of approaching challenges, thoughts, and circumstances. The root of the adverse emotions is addressed so that self-sabotaging behavior can taper off.

Talk Therapies

• Family Therapy helps treat mental illness. It provides understanding, support, and education for family members. It strengthens relationships by addressing the impact of mental illness on family dynamics.
• Group Therapy is a respectful environment your therapist leads. It’s a way to hone your communication skills and learn from the stories of others. You become a better listener and think outside of yourself. Fellowship is vital in early recovery. Our intimate group sizes allow patients to build connections and find comfort in vulnerability.
• Individual Therapy sessions are the time between just you and your therapist. You work through the personal aspects of your mental health disorder. You can focus on facing your challenges. These one-on-one sessions are crucial to discovering the root of your disorder, which is why we provide two individual sessions per week.
• Life Coaching works with clients to help them create a fulfilling and purposeful life. While therapists and counselors focus on addressing the psychological aspects of mental illness, our life coaches focus on practical strategies and skills to support clients in rebuilding their lives.
• Motivational Interviewing (MI) involves a non-judgemental and empathetic conversation with a therapist to help increase our clients’ motivation to change their behaviors. By exploring each individual’s values, goals, and concerns, the approach identifies and reinforces self-determination to begin making more positive changes.

Holistic Therapies

Offered now:

• Guided meditation relieves stress and allows patients to refresh their minds and bodies. Meditation fosters a sense of inner peace and improves brain function while also helping patients detach from intrusive thoughts and impulses that may be harmful to recovery. Regular meditation may also enhance the quality of sleep, which benefits overall health.
• Mindfulness groups have direct positive effects on people struggling with mental health or substance abuse conditions. During these groups, patients learn techniques and practices that can help reduce stress, urges to use, and emotional outbursts, thus leading to a more effective recovery plan.
• Yoga is a therapeutic practice that alleviates the symptoms of addiction because of its positive impact on mental health. We combine physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation to encourage our clients to be in the present. Yoga is a holistic approach to physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

Coming soon:

• Acupuncture is the ancient Chinese practice of acupuncture that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body. The therapist will determine where to place the needles based on individual needs. Once they do, the energy flow, known as Qi (pronounced “chee”), follows pathways throughout the body to restore balance and promote health and well-being.
• Animal therapy allows interactions between humans and animals to stimulate physical, emotional, cognitive, and social well-being. Connection with animals, such as horses and rescued farm animals, has proven results in mental health and addiction treatment. We plan to incorporate them into various therapeutic settings to facilitate positive outcomes for individuals.
• Art therapy can include drawing, painting, sculpting, and more. It promotes self-confidence and self-esteem, doesn’t require dialogue, and is a judgment-free safe space. Art therapy fosters self-reflection, self-discovery, and emotional release, allowing individuals to gain insight into their addiction triggers and underlying issues. By integrating art therapy into a treatment plan, individuals can develop healthier coping mechanisms and improve overall well-being.
• Movement therapy involves physical activities such as dance, fitness, or martial arts to support healing and recovery. It helps individuals express emotions, reduce stress, improve body awareness, and develop healthy coping strategies as part of their treatment.
• Music therapy uses music and its elements to assist with addiction recovery and mental health disorders. Music has a unique ability to stimulate emotions, bring up good memories, and boost relaxation. In music therapy, individuals engage in activities such as listening, playing instruments, singing, or composing music. These activities can help individuals express their feelings, reduce stress and anxiety, and provide a healthy emotional outlet.

Types of Mental Health Disorders TRUE Treats

Anxiety causes individuals to worry and fear completing everyday tasks persistently. These individuals experience intense, persistent worry and fear that won’t quickly subside. Instead, individuals with an anxiety disorder have repeated episodes of sudden terror that can peak and result in a panic attack.

Co-occurring substance use disorder (SUD) is when a person has a mental health disorder. To cope with the symptoms, they begin to abuse substances. A dual diagnosis by a member of our mental health care team is essential to ensure effective treatment.

The most common mental health disorders that lead to SUD are:

• Anxiety and mood disorders
• Schizophrenia
• Bipolar disorder
• Major depressive disorder
• Conduct disorders
• Post-traumatic stress disorder
• Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

Some of the most common substances include the following:

• Alcohol
• Tobacco
• Opioids
• Stimulants
• Marijuana
• Hallucinogens
• Prescription drugs

Depression is a consuming and debilitating mood disorder. It’s sometimes called major depressive disorder (MDD) or clinical depression. The disorder is prevalent. 29% of U.S. adults have a diagnosis of lifetime depression. 17.8% of this group are currently experiencing it. The mental health condition transforms how you feel, think, and act negatively.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is when individuals have obsessive thinking patterns, including unwanted thoughts, images, or urges that make them anxious or distressed. Other examples of OCD can include fear of contamination, doubts about completing a task, or thoughts of aggression. Individuals with OCD often have significant difficulty pushing away or ignoring these thoughts.

Personality disorders are mental health conditions represented by ongoing behavior pattern changes, lack of cognitive awareness, and turmoil of internal experiences. These characteristics usually do not align with society’s expectations of a stable quality of life. People with personality disorders experience distress and impairment that makes daily functions difficult. As a result, work, school, and personal obligations can suffer or be impossible to complete.

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental illness health condition that individuals develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Those events can range from military combat, sexual abuse or assault, natural disasters, or accidents. Individuals with PTSD may experience flashbacks, nightmares, changes in mood, and avoidance of certain social activities.

Suicidal ideation (SI) is the thoughts, feelings, and contemplation of self-harm or ending one’s life. Suicidal ideation can occur in any racial or ethnic background.

Several factors contribute to suicidal ideation:

• Systemic racism, racial profiling, and discrimination can lead to feelings of hopelessness. This can then lead to feeling devalued or marginalized.
• Experiencing racial violence, hate crimes, or microaggressions can contribute to thoughts of suicidal ideation.
• Historical trauma for generational marginalization and other forms of oppression can last decades after the fact for surviving members of the experience.
• Socioeconomic differences include access to subpar education, inequality when applying for and abstaining from higher-paying jobs, and inadequate access to proper healthcare.
• Being judged based on one’s physical appearance and presumed identifiers can also cause the onset of suicidal ideation.
